Tenderness like water

Yang Lan finally comforted Dongfang. At this time, the sun had risen high in the sky, and the people in the caravan also came to tell Yang Lan that the journey was about to start, so that he could get ready.

However, Yang Lan thought of the girl he rescued in the morning, and with the idea of ​​sending the Buddha to the west, he let the team members go ahead.

When he went out to collect wild vegetables yesterday, he heard many people outside talking about the Huachao Festival two days later—it was a grand event every three years, and he thought he could go and see it with Dongfang Xu if he stayed.

Dongfang is a person from the rivers and lakes, so he must rarely participate in such a lively event.Thinking like this, Yang Lan told the team what happened in the morning, and told them to set off first, and after she and Dongfang settled down, the rescued girl followed.

The two of them travel lightly, so they are naturally much faster than the team.

Although Yang Lianting didn't get up as early as Yang Lan in the morning, he also learned about the good deeds of his elder brother from other people after waking up. Although he had never seen that woman, he thought he would be sold to a brothel, she should be a stunning beauty.

In the afternoon, Yang Lan borrowed a subordinate from Dongfang, asked the male subordinate to send a letter to the Wang family, and let the female subordinate accompany the two little girls. As for himself, he also went to inquire about the specific situation of the Huachao Festival, and then made a decision. A cruise ship intends to take a night trip to the upper reaches of Taihu Lake on the outskirts of the city.

Time passed extremely quickly, a day was like running water, Dongfang Xu's two subordinates were quick-moving people, they both completed the tasks assigned to them by Yang Lan before the sun set, Miss Wang's family seemed to be appeased, and Her maid stayed in the room all day and did not come out.

The Wang family also sent people here, but Dongfang Xu's subordinates moved faster than them. According to this person, the people from the Wang family will arrive tomorrow.

It just so happened that no one would disturb his arrangements tonight.

After dinner, Yang Lan and Dongfang Xu sat in the room drinking tea.

The tea leaves were brought by Yang Lan himself, the soup is clear and fragrant.

"This tea is good." Dongfang Xu took a sip and put down the teacup, said something casually, and then stopped moving the cup.

He doesn't know much about tea. People in the world, as long as they are unrestrained, what they pursue is drinking and eating meat. Tea is something that is only available on the table of rich people.

Seeing Dongfang's actions, Yang Lan knew that he had done something wrong this time, so he changed the subject calmly, "Dongfang, tomorrow is Huachao Festival, there will be no curfew in the city tonight, I have never seen Huachao The appearance of the festival, how about you accompany me to see and see?"

Flower Festival?

Dongfang Xu also heard about this festival for the first time, "Where I have traveled, this festival has never been held." Dongfang is a northerner, and in the cold winter of March over there, there are heavy snowfalls and cold ice. There is no such thing as a hundred flowers in full bloom.

It is only natural that there is no flower viewing event such as the Flower Festival.

"Then why don't you come with me to take a look? From today onwards, there will be no curfew in the city, so we can go outside the city to have a look." When he went to book a cruise ship in the afternoon, he heard from the boatman that the early spring flowers in the suburbs of the city had already bloomed. There are many, and there are many wild flowers on both sides of the river.

In addition, because the Flower Festival is a grand event for appreciating flowers, many wealthy families display the flowers in their gardens, and there are already many "flower boats" on the lake outside the city. There is a pot of Kao.

Dongfang Xu raised his eyes and glanced at Yang Lan. Today he lent two subordinates to Yang Lan, but did this person forget that they belong to him? He has already received everything Yang Lan did today. Xiner.

"Anyway, I have nothing to do, so go and have a look." Dongfang Xu straightened his cuffs with his right hand, and waited until there was no trace of wrinkle before he opened his mouth and accepted Yang Lan's invitation.

Flower Festival?It sounds interesting.

Hearing Dongfang's agreement, Yang Lan smiled even more. He took a sip from the teacup to cover up, and then stood up from his seat, "Wait, Dongfang, it's still cold at night, I prepared a cloak, you try Try to fit or not."

Yang Lan walked around the screen, walked to her little bundle, pretended to pick up something, and took out the fox fur she had prepared long ago.

It is high-quality fox fur, and the workmanship is also excellent. The hem is decorated with a circle of red, and a few small gold ornaments are sewn on to increase the weight.

Just by looking at it, you can know that it is expensive.

Yang Lan walked around the screen with the fox fur, while Dongfang was still sitting on the chair.

Today, Dongfang is still dressed in red, making his complexion white, but in Yang Lan's view, the clothes are too thin. No wonder Dongfang's hands are cold every time he touches them.

"Dongfang, this is the fox fur I collected specially. Try it." Yang Lan saw this in his shop when he just came home. At first glance, he felt that this fur was suitable for Dongfang Xu.

Dongfang stood up and stretched out his hand to take the fox fur from Yang Lan's hand, but unexpectedly, Yang Lan walked up behind him, wrapped his arms around, and directly put the fox fur on him.

The fox fur is not heavy, and there is not much weight on the shoulder, but Dongfang Xu feels that the arm that is on his shoulder through the fox fur and does not even touch his shoulder is full of weight.

"Dongfang, is this okay?" Yang Lan carefully adjusted the position of the fox fur, then walked around and tied a slipknot on Dongfang Xu's chest.

Dongfang Xu's neck was slender, and it moved unconsciously when the fur on the fox fur swept over it.The neck is the lifeblood, Dongfang Xu didn't take any precautions when Yang Lan stretched out his hand, he didn't raise his hand to smooth his collar until he was a little itchy when he was swept by the furry fox fur.

Yang Lan was obviously very happy with Dongfang Xu's performance. He put on the fox fur for Dongfang Xu, and the time was about the same. "Let's go. Go out at this time, just in time to see the sky lantern."

The day before the Huachao Festival, everyone would release sky lanterns to pray for blessings. Just now, through the window, Yang Lan had already seen dots of lights rising into the sky.

The two walked out of the inn side by side. Dongfang Xu's two subordinates originally wanted to keep up, but Dongfang gave him a look, and the two stopped. They only followed behind and did not move forward.

At this time, there were quite a lot of people on the street, and there were also many shopkeepers who came out to sell goods with their burdens. There were many colorful accessories on the shelves on both sides, and many well-dressed women were choosing their favorite items.

"Dongfang, where should we go?" Yang Lan pointed to a direction with few people. He knew that Dongfang didn't like being touched by others, so naturally he wouldn't let him go there among the crowd.

Because tomorrow is the Huachao Festival, there are not all the people today, so Yang Lan decided to come out to play tonight.

The uninhabited path was relatively remote, interspersed among several houses, and when the two finally walked out of the winding path, there were already many lights in the sky.

It just so happened that there was a wind blowing from the outskirts of the city to the city at this time, and the lights followed the wind and lined up like a galaxy flying across the sky.

"Dongfang, this is the Kongming Lantern." Yang Lan raised his head, looked at the Lantern River above his head, and felt shocked.

"Yeah." Dongfang Xu also looked up. At this time, there was a Kongming lantern in the sky. I don't know if it was because the fire was too bright or because of poor craftsmanship. The candle ignited the whole lamp and fell from the sky.

Someone in the crowd spotted the lamp and hurried to avoid it.

Yang Lan naturally also heard the movement. When he looked up, the lamp had already fallen to the height of the tower, which was more than ten meters away from the ground.

The lamp fell quickly, and just as Yang Lan was about to make a move, he saw a person jumping over the city wall, stabbing the lamp with a long sword, and then fell to the ground with the lamp.

He is a young boy.

The commotion came and went quickly, the lamp was caught by someone, and Yang Lan stopped paying attention, and told Dongfang to leave the city and walk towards the lake.

By the lake, the boatman has long been waiting at the agreed place.

"Master Yang, you are finally here." Yang Lan rented a small boat with only one floor, which was bigger than a fishing boat, and it was just right for two people to sit.But compared to the magnificent big ship next to it, it is naturally much inferior.

"Dongfang, we came late, only this boat has not been booked yet, I feel sorry for you to sit with me." Yang Lan got on the boat first, and then stretched out a hand to help Dongfang Xu onto the boat.

The draft of the boat was not deep, and Yang Lan shook slightly after getting on it. The lake surface under the moonlight was constantly turbulent. Dongfang Xu looked down twice, put his last hand on Yang Lan's arm, and stepped onto the boat.

Dongfang Xu never told others, in fact, he doesn't like water very much.

Especially this kind of lake water of unknown depth.
